I think for the purposes of a poll it’s fair and even useful to answer with an attraction you avoid because you strongly suspect it would make you feel ill. For example, while not the worst motion sickness I’ve experienced on a ride, MS green was enough to inform me to never ride orange. So I did check that one in my top 3 for the second part.
I will admit though that this theory isn’t foolproof. I was convinced that GOTG would be the end of me and almost didn’t go on it. Then I decided I had to try it and was fine (with coping strategies). I even rode it a second time because it went so well.
I’m the opposite. It’s kind of like driving a car or being in the front seat vs the back. I have to see where we’re going and focus my eyes purposefully.
I do not get severely motion sick, but some rides make me feel “off”. EE is one of my all time favorite rides but my limit is twice in a row, then I start to feel off because of the backwards portion. I asime Mission orange would be way too much for me. But that is it as far as the mothon of rides making me sick.
Funny enough DH and I react the exact same way to things. Remy was one and done for us. As a ride it is okay, but it made us both nauseous - worse than any ride I have been on at WDW. The first time we road FOP we were fine until about halfway to the gift shop and then felt “off”. But FOP is so awesome it is worth it.
Funny enough, I have no issue with Soarin when I am in section B. But the times I have been on the ends with that distortion, its aweful.
I’m a bit worried about this for our cruise in Jan. 2024. I plan to take Dramamine for sure.
Several months ago, I took a red-eye flight back from Portland. I thought I would just sleep on the way home. Big mistake. Every time I tried to close my eyes for more than a minute or so, I started feeling extremely nauseated. I was dead tired, but couldn’t sleep. I felt like was going to vomit for most of the flight (4 1/2 hours). At the time, I didn’t have any Dramamine to take because I’d never gotten air sick before!
I really hope the Dramanine works for you and you have a great cruise! The first time I cruised was in college to celebrate my dad’s retirement, and I assumed that the weirdness I was feeling was some minor illness since I’d never experienced motion sickness before. So when I cruised again, in my mid-thirties, I didn’t take anything and really regretted it.
I have issues on boats - a small 1 hour tour cruise makes me sick too. But in a Caribbean cruise a few years ago ai felt sick the whole time. Eating actually helps though so I spent the whole trip eating or sleeping from the Bonine. I don’t want to go on one again.
I do pole and thought the same, I’m often upside down We did cruise last year but the only time I got seasick (didn’t feel sick just disoriented) was coming through the notoriously rough Irish Sea during a crazy storm. I went to bed for a couple of hours and woke up fine - and in calmer waters!
Circular motion is the killer for me. So the end (?) of EE and the end of GOTG. I’ll skip EE if I’m on my own. But I’ve only done GOTG twice and I want to try it more.
I’ve ridden the Magic Carpets once, under protest, and it wasn’t so bad, but I’ve never done Dumbo, Astro Orbiter, Tea Cups, etc., and never will.
I’m fine with TOT, but not the one at DLP, which seems much more vicious. It seems to bounce more (perhaps because that’s all it does: there are none of the other elements at DLP). I have no problem with drop-tower rides like Dr Doom’s Fear Fall; indeed I enjoy the physical sensation and find it thrilling.
I haven’t been on Star Tours since the 1990s because it made me feel sick. But I haven’t had a problem with MFSR.
I have no problem with MS:G. I really want to try MS:O but have never had the nerve to actually ride it.
Molly of Mammoth Club just did a video scoring all the rides in USF and she included being bashed about by rides. At WDW I tend to skip RNR and even SM. I loathe Dinosaur.
I’m not a huge fan of BTM because loud noises irritate me and the lift-hills are (deliberately) really loud.
What other medications do people recommend? I’ve never taken anything but in December my boys will want me to ride everything with them. And I know Stuart suffers on some rides.
I bought ginger tablets to use on my UK cruise to nowhere last year, but never took them. I never felt seasick, perhaps because the waters were pretty still.
Bonine, which is similar , I think. I’ve used scopolamine patches before, but they didn’t help me. Zofran? Those last two might be prescription based here in the US.
